A Carnival Wedding, Marlene and Scott

Marlene and Scott 7.24.2010

2 Daisies was fortunate enough to help plan this magnificent carnival themed wedding this past summer.  The hottest day of the year and one of our most spectacular events to date.  This couple was fantastic! The food was outstanding and provided by Stephen Starr Events- http://www.stephenstarrevents.com/

We loved working with their staff and they custom tailored such great menu choices.

Table arrangements...hand screen printed peanut bags by Marlene's sister Keri.  She is a wonderful artist and many of the details were made by Keri.  Awesome job!

Sara and Tyler- Rita Rojas Sullivan Photography

Sara and Tyler were married December 18, 2010.  This marked the end of our weddings for 2010.  They are a fantastic couple with wonderful families who really know how to throw a party!  We were fortunate to work with a favorite location here in the Valley as the couple was married at Packer Chapel.  I absolutely love this chapel...Father Killian performed a beautiful Catholic service and we had a pretty Candlelight service just before Christmas.  With the right Photographer (Rita did and amazing job with her assistant.) you can capture the sheer magnitude of the chapel and it's detail without losing the people in the shots.

Our day started at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem with her bridal party in tow for make up and hair.  Jennifer Campain did the girls make up and Kimberly Andrews was our Stylist.  Sara is a natural beauty and was so excited and she really glowed.  Joy (Lead Coordinator) was fortunate to secure the couple a Rolls that would take them from Bethlehem to The Bernards Inn in Bernardsville, NJ.  That Inn is so charming and lovely.  Sara and I were able to put our heads together and really make two contrasting colors work really well together.  Her girls wore red dresses and carried all white/ivory flowers.  Sara wore Ivory and carried a mixture of hydrangea, phalenopsis orchids, tulips and roses all in varying shades of white and ivory.  At the Inn we used lovely lanterns and smaller vases containing freesia and tulips...We added small touches of red whenever appropriate.  The table linens I chose were a lovely gold pintuck and matching sash for the fabulous oval tables....It was warm, romantic and inviting.

For this couple we offered a variety of Planning and event design services.  We were fortunate to work with Eclipse Entertainment and their group of professionals.  The lighting, MC and Dj'ing were fabulous.  The beat of the evening was fantastic and we look forward to working with them again.  Thank you to our wonderful Vendors and also the amazing couple we were so happy to work for.  Please check out Rita's Blog!

Giovanna and Nate- 10/23/2010

This week we will be creating a dramatic wedding reception For Giovanna and Nate at Candlelight Reception and conference center in Bethlehem Twp PA.  I love lavendar/purples personally and am excited to design using colors that are true to my own taste.  It allows my own creativity that much more satisfaction with a finished product.

Giovanna and Nate are a wonderful couple that we met locally at the Woodstone Bridal Event last year.  Our team has grown to really look forward to our meetings and conversations with this couple.  When we get much closer to couples during the planning and design process there is always a twinge in knowing that we may never speak to them again!!  I cannot wait to see Giovanna in her gown and deliver her flowers.  We are determined to make this a very special event and look fabulous!

Mike from Gruvin Enterprises and also Caroline from Candlelight have changed up the floorplan and we are all excited about the layout and how gorgeous the room will be.  Stay tuned for the pictures and video to come!

FARRINGTON MANOR Ultimate Food Show & Vendor Expo

Hop over the border from NJ...Save some $$$

This is just one of the locations here in the Lehigh Valley that Couples can choose to have their reception at.

In working with couples from all over the United States we see a range of Wedding Budgets.  Having lived and worked in the Princeton NJ area for years before we moved to the Lehigh Valley, I am well aware of what the cost is of venues in Mercer and Middlesex county. 

When faced with helping to plan my brother's wedding my future sister-in-law and I looked at the many locations that are within a two hour drive from their home in Mercer County NJ.  We talked about some of our favorite locations and great past weddings we have both attended or been in.

They decided to make the hop over the border!  They were able to save thousands..$$$$.

They actually had their wedding at Bear Creek in Macungie.  It was a mini destination wedding.  Still close to the 78 corridor and the turnpike for easy travel.  Fabulous per head pricing and the staff there does an amazing job.  It could not have been a better choice for them.  We were able to help them save $ on entertainment, photography, we'll pretty much everything wedding related.

If you would like to slash about 5,000.  off of your total budget consider coming to the Lehigh Valley. You will be pleasantly surprised.
